Bazinga Remix, Eye-Shuh goes Emerald, and Parsons on Sesame

Eye-Shuh Goes Emerald

Wil Wheaton, Stan Lee, and Leonard Nimoy all made appearances at this year's Emerald City Comicon. Working on the show's staff, one of the biggest Sheldon Cooper fans, and one of our favorite bloggers, was on hand to scribble down the highlights. Check out Eye-Shuh's recap of the 2010 Emerald City Comicon when you have the chance!

Elmo Causes a Conniption Fit

If you weren't sure if Jim Parsons had really made it to the big time, all doubt will be erased after we tell you this. Parsons will be appearing on Sesame Street for a "word-of-the-day" segment. Yes, he's gone "Sesame," proving his celebrity status once and for all. In addition, a new Sesame Street character created just for the segment will make a debut!

"He may have a conniption fit," said Parsons about his nephew, who will be attending the taping and will personally meet Elmo and Abby Cadabby.

Cue the Music

While a few "bazinga!" remixes exist, we were recently introduced to a very catchy version we think all of you will enjoy. Also, we located another video containing every Sheldon "bazinga!" that has appeared so far on "The Big Bang Theory." Have a look!

The Wheaton Recurrence? Definitely, Maybe ...

By now, most of you know about Wil Wheaton's second coming on "The Big Bang Theory." Not much detail has been released about the episode, but Wheaton did post a link to an image of the script's title page.

Suspiciously enough, the image is no longer appearing, but those who got a peek at it before it went all-busted discovered the episode's name: "The Wheaton Recurrence." So, now you know. Sort of gives one the chills, eh? "The Wheaton Recurrence." Hrrgh!

Wheaton also provided a couple other images of passing and curious interest. The first is presumably that of the door to Wheaton's room at The Big Bang Theory set. The second reveals some of the eating and reading habits of Leonard and Sheldon, as per the living room coffee table.

Be sure to check out Wil Wheaton's blog, WWdN: In Exile, as he relays some of his thoughts and experience regarding the episode and his time making it.

Origin of "Bazinga!" and the One Ring of Sheldon

Klingons, Slang, and the Quest for a "Bazinga!"

Have you been scouring the Internet hoping to figure out the source of Sheldon Cooper's, "Bazinga!"?
Stop your pilfering of Klingon dictionaries and trolling of geeky forums in search of an answer, at least long enough to check out, "The Word Origin of Sheldon Cooper's 'Bazinga!'"

Sheldon Cooper--Drunk Like a Dwarf?

While you might be on a quest for the "Holy Bazinga," it appears "The Big Bang Theory" crew will be starting an epic journey of their own--one involving a drunk Sheldon!

E!Online's Spoiler Chat reveals that our beloved geek gang from the show will, "find the 'Lord of the Rings' ring that's the last one in existence and didn't go to the actors, and it tears us apart like it did in the movie."

A couple, albeit minor spoilers are given alongside but avoid the chat if you don't want to know more about upcoming "The Big Bang Theory" episodes. (NOTE: There is a potential Wil Wheaton spoiler on the page you may not want to see. Just a fair warning!)

New Chuck Lorre Pilot

Daemon's TV is reporting that a new Chuck Lorre pilot will be featured among the 2010/2011 CBS lineup. Titled "Mike and Molly," the show is to feature two over-eaters who meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting.

Similar to "The Big Bang Theory," the pilot will be a multi-camera sitcom. Mark Roberts will be writing for the show. Roberts has served as an executive consultant for "The Big Bang Theory" and is a writer and sometimes co-producer for Lorre's other popular sitcom, "Two and a Half Men."

When Klingon Insults Aren't Enough--Evil Wil Wheaton Returns

Creepy Candy Corollary Part Deux?

Wil Wheaton!
WHEATON! WHEATONNN!

TV Guide is reporting that Wil Wheaton, Star Trek's Wesley Crusher and arch-nemesis to Sheldon Cooper during The Big Bang Theory's season three episode "The Creepy Candy Corollary," will be making a return to the show.

"Right now we're looking to see if he can come back to give Sheldon a chance to settle the score," said Executive Producer Bill Prady.

What we find equally (or perhaps even more interesting) is Prady's pursuit of a Leonard Nimoy appearance. Of course, some of you know our theory surrounding Sheldon's love life and Nimoy's potential involvement there, but it would be fascinating to see how his appearance might actually play out.

Research Lab -- Version 1.0

Want a better look at Sheldon's "the physics is theoretical but the fun is real" Research Lab game?

Life Magazine has an interesting close-up shot of the game's board and box as part of their showcase regarding last night's "Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Presents An Evening With 'The Big Bang Theory'."

If you're interested, WireImage also has photos of Jim Parsons, Chuck Lorre, Bill Prady, and the rest of The Big Bang Theory's main cast from the event. What do you all think of Kaley Cuoco's "Pebbles-Dew?"

New Job For Sheldon's Mom

Laurie Metcalf, three time Emmy winner and "Mom" to Sheldon Cooper, has taken a role starring in the upcoming sitcom pilot "Strange Brew," according to Entertainment Weekly.

The character is described as the "newly sober" still-married matriarch of three children, all of whom work at a local brewery. The sitcom is set to run on FOX-TV though an air date is yet to be announced.

UPDATE: Our mistake. Wil Wheaton appeared in season three's "The Creepy Candy Corollary." Kripke was the target of Sheldon's revenge in "The Vengeance Formulation."

UPDATE II: Check out Wil Wheaton's attitude regarding his arch-nemesis return to The Big Bang Theory.
